Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution [Paperback]

Robert W. Hill (Author), Eduardo Castro (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 2009

Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven form of brain-wave feedback that trains the child’s brain to overcome slow brain-wave activity, and increase and maintain its speed permanently. Neurofeedback is quick, noninvasive, and cost effective. In fact, 80 percent of the time, neurofeedback is effective without any of the side effects associated with drugs commonly used for such childhood disorders as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sleep disorders, and emotional problems.

Healing Young Brains examines each disorder separately and explains in lay terms:


• The manifestation of the disorder


• The diagnosis


• The rationale for treating the disorder with brain-wave training

Healing Young Brains is parents' guide to all they need to know about treating their children with neurofeedback as an alternative to drugs.

This review is from: Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution (Paperback)

As a neurofeedback therapist, I'm buying this book to share with clients who want to read of other's experiences with neurofeedback. Wanted to add to the review that this treatment is quite effective, non-invasive, and safe and I'm constantly amazed at how our brains can learn and change for the better. It's a new world opening to us and I applaud the authors for making it accessible to readers with a variety of behavioral concerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, August 2, 2009

This review is from: Healing Young Brains: The Neurofeedback Solution (Paperback)

I found this book to be full of useful information on different brain dysfunctions and how neurofeedback can help. It is written in a way that I could understand how the treatment works and the theory of what is wrong in the brain to begin with. I especially liked how fair the information was. No where did the authors discredit traditional or conventional medicine and were open with the limitations of this treatment (no "snake oil" salesman here). So many times when someone is bringing forth information that is not "main stream", they try to make main stream look bad or have a "my way or the highway" philosophy. These authors give emotion free reasons why neurofeedback is not in use by the majorities of physicians and even show where conventional medicine can work and when the two can give better results than either one by itself.
When dealing with children's health, I feel every means needs to be investigated, and this book makes logical sense and I am excitied to explore its possibilities.
